Thread Name: Joan Baez- uncensored Dylan Movie
Subject: RE: Joan Baez- uncensored Dylan Movie
There were several "fucks" and a few "shits" scattered throughout, most notably from Joan Baez. (Something about that sentence doesn't sound right!)

Pete Seeger also said "Goddamn" at one point. I'm wondering if that was cut as well.

It just amazes me that in 2005 stations are afraid to air this uncensored. Granted it is public airwaves, but there was a disclaimer and it did not air during "family time".   I don't care if there is a bible belt or not, there should be no need to be afraid of words.

With that said, I do admit that I am cautious about what I play on my radio show. I don't care for gratiutous language - in fact I won't even play a song if the songwriter is particulary verbose!   However, I will NEVER bleep a word out of a song. I may not share the artists vision, but I will never change it.
